Amazing Race Season 2: Episode 9 Recap

Teams are now headed to England.

DETOUR

In this Detour, teams choose between Brains or Brawn. In Brains, teams had to take London Underground and solved a series of three riddles. First, teams had to find the left luggage in Waterloo station for their first item. Second, they had to find the three naked men statue in Hammersmith tube station and find the second item. Third, they had to find and make their way to the Baker Street tube station named for London's most famous detective, Sherlock Holmes and find the statue outside to receive the third item. Once finished, teams took the mystery items that would eventually lead the teams to 221B Baker Street, the home of Sherlock Holmes Museum and to find the detective nearby, who would hand them their next clue in exchange for the items.

In Brawn, teams had to make their way to Battersea Park where teams had to transport five 160 pounds (73 kg) boats from a lake to the storage area 500 yards (460 m) away, when completed, teams would be handed their next clue.

BRAINS

*In a gripping race through the London Underground, Shaggy and Scooby and Statler and Waldorf battled it out for which team would be the brainiest. Would it be The youthful sleuths who were good at solving mysteries... Or, would age, experience and wisdom prevail?

Highlights

Part 1

*Scooby pretends to be a bellhop "rank rou rir," he says, taking Shaggy's mop off his bald head "rat rill be rone rillion rollars."

Shaggy: "Come on Scoobs no time for foolin around we better bellhop to it and find that luggage."

Part 3

*Scooby produces a Sherlock Holmes hat and magnifying glass and starts looking for the statue.

*Statler and Waldorf see the statue at the same time. A train has just let off it's passengers and a huge swarm of people cut off Shaggy and Scooby allowing Statler and Waldorf to jump into the lead.

Lowlights

*Statler and Waldorf get into an argument as they search.

Waldorf: Statler we need to find the left luggage.

Statler: Right.

Waldorf: No the left luggage.

Statler: Right!

Waldorf: Look you old fart, are we trying to win this race or what? We need to find the left luggage.

Statler: Right!... I mean correct.

Waldorf: Oh. Dohohohohoh Let's go!

Highlights

Lowlights

* Optimus says "Don't you mean tow tow tow your boat quickly cross the grass. Pay attention don't you trip and fall upon your ass. "

*Optimus quite proud of his little ditty accidently gets a loose rope from the boat wrapped around his leg causing him to trip and fall on his ass.

*Susan and BOB trash talk the autobots as they race past.

Quotes

*Bumblebee plays "Row, row, row your boat." *

*Susan: Hey boys, It looks like you're sunk. Badunka dunk. Wooo!

In this Roadblock, that team member had to drive a Double Decker bus through a marked course without hitting any cones. If they hit a cone, the bus driver would reset the bus back to the beginning of the course and had to start again. At the end of the course, the team member had to park the bus in the designated parking area to receive their next clue.

Team members doing the ROADBLOCK:

Bob:The race takes a literal turn as BOB drives his bus perfectly through the course. However not having any legs, he finds it difficult to stop and cruises right on out of the bus yard and onto the nearest highway where he turns the bus sideways and causes a huge roadblock.

Bumblebee:Bumblebee uses his problem solving skills when he realizes that he won't fit inside of the bus so he straddles it instead and rides it rodeo style through the course playing: "The wheels on the bus go round and round, round and round, round and round, the wheels on the bus go round and round. All through the town"

Shaggy: "Like I hope there's nothing scary on this bus." Shaggy climbs on to the bus and begins the challenge. Suddenly the bus starts speeding and jerking violently from side to side until it comes to a standstill between two pylons. Shaggy runs off the bus screaming Zombie bus driver zombieeee bus driver.A grotesque figure dressed in bus driver's clothing emerges from the bus and moaning starts to chase after Shaggy. Scooby dives into action setting up a trip wire causing the zomby to fall and get tangled up.Scooby: Raggy! Rhats rot a rombie. Re's rearing Rikes.!

Shaggy: Jee Wiz Scooby you're right Zombies don't wear Nikes. Who is it then?

Scooby pulls off the zombie mask to reveal... Richard Hatch.

Shaggy: Hatch! You again.

Hach: That's right! and if it wasn't for this meddling mutt I would have scared you outta the race.

Shaggy runs back on to the bus and finishes the challenge while Adam escorts Richard Hatch off the set.

As Adam drags Hatch off the set he can be heard screaming, "I'll be back. I'll Be back!!!"

Waldorf: Waldorf takes advantage of all the commotion caused by BOB's driving, Richard Hatch's antics and Bumblebee's blaring music to quietly hop onto his bus and complete the course with a perfect parking job at the end putting him and Statler at the front of the pack.

Waldorf drives the bus over the pit stop. Statler yelling out behind him "What about me?"Statler jumps on Adam's back and yells "Quick man after that bus! "

PIT STOP

*Adam makes Richard Hatch act as the pit stop , painting his face in the same colours as a U-turn sign

and hold a sign "PIT STOP: IT'S THE PITS" to replace the checkin mat Waldorf just obliterated.

*It is argued since Waldorf and Statler technically reached the checkin mat first (bus and all) that they are team number One! Adam tries to tell Statler what he has won while Statler is still on Adam's back. When Waldorf returns from his bus the two are told "Statler and Waldorf you are team number one and as the winners of this leg of the race they have won a

trip away from their box, to a big theatre in Jamaica, a vintage bus company, a best of Milton Berle DVD and butt cushions for their chairs in the box.

Scooby and Shaggy arrive and bowl over Richard Hatch and say "You've been hatched!" Adam starts laughing and can't stop and says "Sc..ssscoooby and Sh...shaaa....gggy....you've been hatched. You're...team....team....nu...number...twooooooooooooooooooo!"

Shaggy: Zowie wowie ol buddy ol pal we are in the top three!

Scooby"Rets ro raggy rets rin ris ring!

Bob and Susan rush to the pit stop and wait for the bad news. "Bob and Susan, " says Adam, "I'm sorry to tell you....(Cue Bob's soap opera crying) you are team number 3 and you are still in the race! BOB bounces and Susan jumps up and down in joy.

Last comes Bumblebee and Optimus who look at Adam expectantly. Bumblebee took a turn too sharply at the end of the course tipping the bus and knocking over a pylon causing him to start over again. He gets hit on the head by a pylon causing him to play Raindrops keep falling on my head. He manages to do the course and they head to the pit stop. "Bumblebee and Optimus, " says Adam, "you're the last team to arrive. I am sorry to tell you you have both been eliminated from the race. " Susan runs up and shakes hands with both the autobots and says how much fun it has been racing against them and that bigger is better. Bumblebee plays Beck's I'm a loser baby but Optimus says: "Too soon too soon. "
